Genesis® I Technical Data

Genesis® I takes mechanical seal technology into the next century!

The Genesis® I is a patented new approach to cartridge-type mechanical seal design. It provides long-lasting reliability, easy installation and maintenance, at a remarkably low price. Designed for use with centrifugal pumps and other rotating equipment, the Genesis® I makes installation easier, alignment automatic, and field refurbishment a matter of replacing a few readily available parts. 
     Genesis® I takes mechanical seal technology to an entirely new level. It provides the features you demand in a cartridge-type mechanical face seal, but at a significantly reduced price.
